Yoitns : Ashford . Now , then . There—Crowd . Huzza ! huzza ! huzza ! Young Ashford . She has won . Mrs . Croker . I would not have Jemima so conspicuous for the world . Mary Anne , Set your heart at rest , my dear Mrs . Croker ; there is no danger . Mignionette . ( Aside . ) How can you call such a creature ' clear ?' L . See—they have placed the prize in her hand—and now they crown her with the oaken garland : —beautiful ! Mignionette . And listen ! they are going to sing .
GLEE . Of all the trees that catch the breeze The trusty yew for me ! All hail ! our queen of the garland green , Who has bent it gloriously . It ne'er was a coward , who can say ; For it stands alone , be it night or day , In the drear churchyard—but tho' gloomy there , It lives a frolicksome life elsewhere .
CHORUS . The lusty yew , the trusty yew , The springing yew for me , All hai ] ! our queen of the garland green , Who has bent it gloriously . In the merry greenwood , when days are long , We'll string it , and draw it tight and strong ; And thro' the valleys and depths so green We'll follow our lovely forest queen .
CHORUS . The lusty yew , the trusty yew , The springing yew for me ! All hail ! our queen of the garland green , Who has bent it gloriously !
Mrs . Croker . It is very disrespectful to royalty , to bestow the title of queen ' upon a mere child ! Young Ashford . We are going , Mrs . Croker ; good morning ! Mrs , Croker . Going , are you ? I think I and Jemima will go too , for I am heartily tired of it all . L . One more look at the trees and the green , and the gay group , and , above all , their lovely queen . Mignionette . There she stands : how like her ! she has laid down her silver prize , and is leaning on her old trusty yew ' favourite . SCENE III . Afternoon , Marl Cliff 9 . Old Ashford . Do you see the boat ? Mary Anne . Yea ! there it id , tied to that alder-tree .
